hi guys:

im pretty new and just recompiled my kernel with cvsup (using src-all)
and uname -a prints:

FreeBSD xxx 4.10-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2 #1: Fri Sep 10
18:01:49 EST 2004     [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/XCAGE2  i386

i used the RELENG_4_10 tag to do this, but im wondering if someone
could tell me where to go to find out the latest source code, ex the
above was -RELEASE-p2.. is p2 the latest? where can i find the latest
info so i know i ahve the most up to date one?

thanks


It's all about the tags. RELENG_4_10 will give you FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE, the -p2 means there have been 2 patches for it since it was released and you have them. Tthe RELEASE branch only gets bugfixes and security updates. If you want, say, 4.10-STABLE, which will eventually become 4.11, use the tag RELENG_4. There is a section on these tags in the FreeBSD Handbook that fully explains them.
